Well it seems to be back to "painfully slow" this mourning.
It had been better for a few days but ii now the worst I have experienced here so far.

I am glad you are looking into this... when I initially started pounding around looking for AR10 information I came to the site a couple times but never stayed because of the delays... yes, am spoiled.

Your efforts are having a demonstrable impact... even over the last 4 weeks or so. As I work in the industry, tailoring the application instead of first throwing hardware at the problem was the right thing to do. If you're down to diminishing returns it may be the right time to consider new / different hardware. That's real easy for me to say, esp since I don't know the economics of running a web based forum.

Another forum I belong to has a supporting members structure (it was all of 10 bucks) and I trust this goes to defray costs of the server / network infrastructure. The advertisers above (near the banner) carry this site?

Regardless, thanks for your efforts - again, they are paying off and it is very appreciated.

Ref the gent above who posted 'its slow again'... I did not see his comment before I scribed...

If you (we) are seeing variation in response times and the site's activity level is pretty stable, then this must sit on a shared server (or shared network) and we're competing for finite resources. And loosing (ok, spoiled and dramatic).

You spoke about moving to a different server... if it is standalone it might make some sense. Or get some system and premise network performance data out of the hosting provider to try to map complaints against activity spikes.

I have 'survival' skills in this area, so caveat emptor, but if you need someone to bounce ideas off of just ping me.

Hello,

This site is on a shared server AND the banners above help to defray the cost; however, the site remains heavily subsidized by my wallet.

ArmaLite helped quite a bit by donating the AR-10's in the fall, half of the proceeds went to site expenses for a few months.

Hopefully a dedicated server is in the site's future. I'm working on different options right now. Hang in there for me guys!

The new server is up and running. At roughly 4x the previous server specs the site should run much faster then previously.

Please let me know if you've seen any noticeable improvements!

Thanks for everyone's patience during the change-over. It's been tedious at times.

Best regards,

M

Oh Lord! BMS is happy for once

Mark the occasion: May 18th will go down in history as the day that BMS finally was happy.

Lets keep track of how long this lasts!
